Consent Forms

I'm a GP and was always taught to use consent forms when I'm doing oral surgery. I'm hearing more and more though that they should be used more often. What is the rest of the community doing out there?

Private practice or residency?

I'm currently a junior in an east coast dental school and am indecisive as to if I should go look into becoming an associate in a private practice or spend a year in a general practice residency. Would appreciate your feedback.

Updating Your Office Fees

If you routinely update your office fees the first of every year, now is the time to start the process. Not much preparation is involved if you don't participate in any insurance plans. If you participate in plans that expect you to file your fees with them and they build a personal schedule for you off of that information, then make sure you submit early enough to pass through their evaluation/approval process. They usually won't pay using those fees until they're loaded into their system. Make sure you receive a letter of confirmation before implementing your new office schedule.

Crown Lengthing - Hard Tissue Only

Remember that crown lengthing is considered a surgical procedure and benefits for it should be requested and billed only when hard tissue is removed. (Removal of redundent gingival tissue or deepening the sulcur for an impression does not qualify)
